Keeping it Real, Mama

By: Kass Mangione
  • Summary

  • Every parent has a story. When I had my daughter in 2022, I very quickly realized just how hard it is to be a mother, and how important it is to provide a platform for parents to talk about their prenatal, postpartum, and parenting experiences. If there's anything I learned as a mom, it's that you need to give yourself grace. On Grace & Grit, I listen to your stories, from birth experiences and miscarriages to postpartum depression and anxiety to the struggles and joys of toddler parenting. You have a voice; you should be heard. Thanks for following along. Remember: You got this, mamas.
